Robert Joseph: “It is certainly better that Iran, at declared facilities, is spinning fewer centrifuges rather than more centrifuges.”

I believe it will represent perhaps the single greatest strategic mistake in the national security area in the past 35-plus years of my career.

Once you allow Iran to maintain and in fact under this agreement expand a large-scale infrastructure for enrichment, the agreement in and of itself explicitly recognizes at that point Iran as a nuclear weapons threshold state.

I would suggest that instead of relieving sanctions we impose even more sanctions. It was sanctions that brought the Iranians to the table.

I identify what I call five fatal flaws to the agreement.
